Several hundred school students are forced to wade through ankle-deep sewage to reach their schools in East Tambaram and Chitlapakkam, Tamil nadu. Southern Railway, responsible for the problem, seems to have very few solutions at hand to redress the situation. A huge amount of raw and untreated sewage is being let out on Bharatha Matha Street from pumping wells operated by the Southern Railway in the East Tambaram side. Students of Jai Gopal Garodia National Higher Secondary in East Tambaram and a section of students of the Government High School in Chitlapakkam have no option but to wade through the sewage.
